Natalie Merchant - The Living Transcribed by: Tim Eggenberger What a great great album - thanks for everything Natalie. This is a very sad, beautiful, and easy to play song. For the 'G' on the Intro, don't use the low 'E' string so as to leave your index finger free for 1st fret fill. For the 'D' chord, include the open 'A' string for flavor.
